Marton Water Reservoir (the concrete water storage tank) Update - Thursday 12 February

February 13, 2020

Listen

Marton Water Reservoirs level is 83% today. This is above restriction levels, but due to very little rain over the past few weeks, the Marton Water Dam levels have become low. These dams feed the Water Treatment Plant where cleaned water is stored in the town reservoir before supplying the town with water. We will continue to keep Level One water restrictions in place until further notice.

Restrictions are:
Level 1 - When the level at the town reservoir falls below 50% we will impose water restrictions, only allowing handheld hose watering of gardens between 4pm and 8pm, daily. There will be a complete ban on the use of sprinklers at any time of the day.

We encourage all Marton residents to conserve water. Let's reduce our use of water - Slow the flow, use less H20.
